5G-INDUCE
Open cooperative 5G experimentation platforms for the industrial sector Network Applications
A 5G-PPP phase III project funded by the EU
5G-INDUCE targets the development of an open, ETSI NFV compatible, 5G orchestration platform for the deployment of advanced 5G Network Applications. The platform’s unique features provide the capability to the Network Application developers to define and modify the application requirements, while the underlay intelligent OSS can expose the network capabilities to the end users on the application level without revealing any infrastructure related information. This process enables an application-oriented network management and optimization approach that is in line with the operator’s role as manager of its own facilities, while it offers the development framework environment to any developer and service provider through which tailored made applications can be designed and deployed, for the benefit of vertical industries and without any indirect dependency through a cloud provider.
Core Activities
Network Application Management Platform
The development and integration of a full-stack Network Applications Management Platform including state-of-the-art control and data plane solutions based on intelligent OSS layer, scalable microservices-based cloud orchestration platform, and advance user interfaces for the porting of Network Applications and the monitoring of their attributes.
Industry 4.0 Network Applications
The development and deployment of advanced Industry 4.0 Network Applications, showcasing the support of a variety of innovative Industry 4.0 market verticals through the demonstration of advanced use cases that meet demanding Industry 4.0 and 5G KPIs (e.g. ultra-low latency, fast service deployment, high service reliability, while accommodating industrial-grade scalability demands).
5G Experimentation Infrastructures
Businesses and exploitation potentials
The identification of the enabling Businesses and exploitation potentials towards all the impacted market stakeholders (i.e.
1. industrial players,
2. network operators, and
3. a large pool of Network Application developing SMEs/start-ups),
through a beneficial business model for all, while maintaining discrete and distinct roles for each of these stakeholders.
Experimentation Facilities
Three advanced and unique industrial infrastructures interconnected to 5G core through the operators and vendor driven 5G network.
The 5G-INDUCE experimentation facilities are designed to provide realistic environments for the deployment and evaluation of industry 4.0 oriented Network Applications in a diverse type of industries.
